Tsunoda RP-125SC-S, Long Nose PLA-iers, Soft Jaw Needle Nose Pliers (5-inch)

Most of the nylon tipped pliers for wire work are fat tipped, hard to maneuver into small spaces and hard to use with smaller jump rings. Not these pliers! These are the only pliers that I have ever found that have a true long nose and even better - have ridges on the nylon/plastic that allow you to actually get a good grip on a slick jump ring or wire.They are well worth the price and I actually ended up buying four pairs and a bunch of the replacement tips so that I don't have to worry about not having them should one break (not likely because they are so well made) or because the tips wear out.Note: Do NOT expect these to work well on very thick, hardened wire! That is not what they are for. These are ideal for the beautifully colored copper and aluminum wires and jump rings that are used for chain mail jewelry and wire art. They will work for thinner sterling silver that is not full hard, as well as brass that is also not full hard. If you try to use them with full hard wire, thick hardened wire or memory wire, you will ruin them quickly. So if you choose to do that don't blame the pliers and leave a nasty review because you don't understand what the pliers are meant to be used for. I honestly get so tired of seeing one star reviews left for excellent products because the folks who buy them don't understand how the product works or what it is supposed to be used for.

Works smoothly and seems well constructed.

These are perfect for your kitchen.Making it easy for people with arthritis to open packaging with safety seals or just hard to pull apart plastics.Easy to clean.

These are perfect for delicate parts which would otherwise be easily marred by metal pliers.

Nice little set of mini pliers with a nylon face to protect sensitive equipment or jewelry. Best of all it's not made in China!!!!

Best I ever used and got a sweet deal on Amazon Prime Days this July.

The tool seems well built. The jaws move freely and, it does what you'd expect a pliers to do, but I got this specifically to grasp things that I didn't want to crush while manipulating. Not like eggs, but like seeds. I'd expected the jaws to be rubberized or flexible to some extent, but instead, the inner jaws are a hard plastic insert with ridges on them. So softer than steel, but still pretty hard and slippery.If that describes what you'd want, then this tool might be a good fit for you. It wasn't what I was looking for or what I needed, and not what I'd expected given the product description. I'm going to see if I can modify it to do what I want, but it's not fair to make that part of my review.

Bought these solely for tightening the twisted Cali spoke wires on Luxor lowrider wire wheels.
